External SCSI emulation???
807567Feb 23 2009 — edited Feb 24 2009Hallo folks,
I have one maybe a little bit silly question.
I would like to gain some experience on field of clustering, but my problem is, that I am not an owner of external storage.
Finally I have for my testing needs available only 1 x old Sun Fire V120 and two old PC's.
My question is, if is possible to make some emulation of external storage on second box and simulate in this way external SCSI storage???
Because my equipment resources are very limited I'll really appreciate any valuable advice, how to build usable test cluster from these old stuff.
My idea is to build something like emulation of SCSI external storage and make this resource availabe like global file system to SunFire box.On SunFire configure two non-global zones and make resources / HA storage, HA services / failover between them.
I am the very beginner so please correct me If my idea is not the right one.
I attach small draft for better explanation....
